Review: Most impressive. - The level of surface detail relative to the 2002 Star Destroyer release (≈3,000 pieces) is stunning. Unlike some other Star Wars ships, the Star Destroyer really lends itself to the Lego treatment. The stubs, which I normally do everything possible to hide, add a texture to the surfaces that stands in well for the tiniest details, while the regular Lego-scale detail pieces bring amazing, movie-like realism where a purely clean, flat surface would appear lacking (very little in the Rebellion era of Star Wars is clean, pure, and flat). The stand is well designed, if a bit on the shaky side, for tabletop display. Unfortunately for me, I don't have a consistent 2' x 3.5' tabletop space to display it. My solution will be to hang it in my stairwell, and this will require filling in some blank spaces where the stand supports currently reside. Fortunately, it does have a deliberate "handle" right at its central balance point to which I can attach several wires for hanging. The overall form is very much look-but-don't-touch. It's extremely delicate, featuring numerous large body panels that seem barely held in place by a few clips and gravity. It's a necessary compromise -- anything more solid at this scale would risk collapsing under its own weight -- but it's hard to escape the impression that I spent $700 on a mostly hollow plastic shell. This is not a knock against the engineering and design. On the contrary, I think the design and planning that clearly went into it are masterful. Brilliant use of existing pieces (no new pieces were created, only one had to be recast in grey), and a build approach that shows deep three-dimensional thinking. Lego's engineering team are geniuses. This is also not a knock against it being very much a "display only" build, rather than a playable build. At my age, I just want to display these beauties, and I often don't even build out the playable interiors. Finally, this is a great addition to the recent iconic ship releases from Star Wars. The Tantive IV (75244) has the distinction of being the very first ship we saw in Star Wars (on movie screens in 1977). But it was this ship, second to be seen, the Imperial Star Destroyer DEVASTATOR, swelling endlessly to fill the entire theater, that literally caused audience mouths to drop open. It was the ultimate cinematic OMG moment that grabbed us and held us for the next 2+ hours -- and 40+ years. Thank you George Lucas, and thank you Lego. Review: What a Joy! - I haven't done anything with Legos since I was a kid. I'm 42 now and when I saw this on desertcart, I quickly bought it. What a joy to build this. First time I have seen Lego number the bags which made it easy to build. The detail on it is crazy good. It dominates my room and I find my self constantly looking at it. It IS WELL WORTH the price. Some notes. Get your self some zip lock bags. It as many small pieces so if you don't build it in one day, its a good idea to separate the pieces and put them in bags. Follow the directions and ONLY open the bags for which step you are on! Book tells you what bag number to use for the portion of the build you are on. Most important. Get super glue. though you are not meant to play with this beauty, while building it and handling it, I found some parts would come off. So I got super glue and didn't have that worry anymore. Again it is well worth the price, and it makes for a awesome display! ## Features - Build and display the Devastator, a LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series; a giant of a model from Star Wars: A New Hope that collectors will love to own! - The Imperial Star Destroyer model includes a display stand, informational fact plaque and 2 Imperial minifigures with weapons for a truly authentic galactic civil war collector's item - This incredible set also includes a buildable scale model of the Tantive IV that fans will instantly recognize from the opening scenes of the very first Star Wars movie! - The amazing LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series Imperial Star Destroyer model is a challenging building experience and a great holiday and birthday gift for serious LEGO brick and Star Wars fans ages 16+ - This 4,784-piece collectible on its display stand measures over 17” (44cm) high, 43” (109cm) long and 26” (66cm) wide; in other words, it's HUGE! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07WFHWVPF | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #198,542 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #6,262 in Toy Building Sets | | Brand Name | LEGO | | Color | Multicolor | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,224 Reviews | | Educational Objective | Creative Thinking | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00673419304245 | | Included Components | LEGO Building Elements | | Item Dimensions | 20.98 x 18.11 x 15.16 inches | | Item Type Name | Building Kit | | Item Weight | 12.41 kg | | Manufacturer | LEGO | | Manufacturer Part Number | 75252 | | Manufacturer recommended age | 16 years and up | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Name | Imperial Star Destroyer™ 75252 | | Model Number | 6251819 | | Model Year | 2020 | | Number of Pieces | 4784 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Size | 1060 | | Sub Brand | Star Wars | | Theme | Space, Vehicle | | UPC | 673419304245 | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** LEGO - **Color:** Multicolor - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 20.98 x 18.11 x 15.16 inches - **Theme:** Space, Vehicle ## Images ![Star Wars: A New Hope Imperial Star Destroyer 75252 Building Kit (4,784 Pieces) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81UIrn8wmgL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this completely hollow?** A: Hi there! No, while there are no scenes or play areas inside, the inner portion is full of all sorts of supports. - Emily, LEGO® Customer Service **Q: Is the interior built out with areas we'd recognize from the films, or is all of the interior just structural/support? (Didn't see any pics.)** A: Hi there! This set does not have a play interior. The inside is made up of supports. - Emily, LEGO® Customer Service **Q: Is it possible to hang this from the ceiling as opposed to displaying on the included stand?** A: Super glue it together, and then build a hanging cradle for it. Would probably take a 100 man hours. **Q: I’m missing a piece, how can I get the piece I need sent to me?** A: Oh no! It’s very rare for a LEGO® set to be missing a piece. Usually you’ll find it stuck in the packaging, used in place of a similar piece, or hiding somewhere near your building area. If you’ve checked all over and the part hasn’t appeared, don’t worry! It’s super easy to request a replacement. Just go to LEGO.build/BricksPieces to get started. - Emily, LEGO® Customer Service ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Most impressive. *by K***T on December 18, 2020* The level of surface detail relative to the 2002 Star Destroyer release (≈3,000 pieces) is stunning.

So, we bought this set for my son at the onset of COVID... he was 9 at the time. I'd do alot of the setup and supervision and he did most of the building. All in all, this set took him (us) a good long while - maybe two months of picking at it. I recently had to deconstruct it down to step 14... he accidentally flipped two of the support pieces and it became unstable and fell. The stand is built into this set, so make sure your pieces are securely connected. I'd say to "Kragle" them, but if you mess up, yikes! Only took a few hours of disassembly, it comes apart in big chunks. This set is absolutely massive. I hope you have an awesome space to display it, not something to ever tear apart, and it was pretty complex to build. This is the second UCS Lego he's done. We did the Death Star already and now that this is fixed proper... the Falcon is on deck! Highly recommend, these are so much fun and super impressive when completed! ## Frequently Bought Together - LEGO Star Wars: A New Hope Imperial Star Destroyer 75252 Building Kit (4,784 Pieces) - LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Millennium Falcon 75192 - Expert Building Set and Starship Model Kit, Movie Collectible, Featuring Classic Figures and Han Solo's Iconic Ship, Best Gift for Adults --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/175033166-star-wars-a-new-hope-imperial-star-destroyer-75252-building](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/175033166-star-wars-a-new-hope-imperial-star-destroyer-75252-building) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-29*
